Just bought a 182 cup

[imprezaworks]

Hi. Just picked up a mint 04 plate 182 cup. Absolutly love the car. Just a quick question. I went to start it before and where it reads the oil level on the dash it flashed up with _ _ _ _ _. Then the service light came and stayed on???? Its recently been serviced so i think its a bit odd. It was parked on a slight hill wether that has caused it to come on. Any ideas please.

I suspect they havnt sone the sump plug back up properly. Just the service light or did it come on with the oil can light too?

 

[ClioLove]

its not actually a service light just means something is wrong!! ie: oil

 

[Sir_Dave]

Check the oil with the dipstick ... dont worry too much though as my 182 always did the same when i parked on a hill

 

[cat171]

It's worthwhile mentioning, never rely on the car to tell you if it has oil in it or not, always check the dipstick.

 

[imprezaworks]

Thanks for the response. Will check in the morning.

Mine did this 3 times in a row and the oil was fine. How strange. Nice car BTW.

 

[d4ve86]

doesnt that mean that its oil level is correct or is that 00000?

I think thats correct it is was low it would be _ _ _ _ (4 lines instead of 5 or less if the oil was really low)

 

[imprezaworks]

Went to the car this morning and everything seems okay. And the oil level is spot on, i checked the dipstick. How strange.

If you mean the little orange coloured gearbox/engine light at the bottom right of the dash I wouldn't worry a huge amount. Mine has been coming on and off for about 2 years and I have never had a problem lol.

Apparently a sensor went and even after getting it changed it still did it. Mine is going to get serviced next month so I will get them to take another look then.

 

[imprezaworks]

It was the serv light that came and stayed on.

 

[ben_p]

sounds like a ringer mate, burn it and cut your losses

 

[imprezaworks]

Take it ur joking??

 

[mattjk]

Yes bens being a tit!! Its probably the oil level sensor they are notourious for being unreliable have a search around I can't remeber where the sensor is off the top of my head.

 

[172bagss2]

No, this lad Ben knows that I know because his sister used to ring the bells at my local church, he had a Lotus Elise that was short on oil, he took it to the dealer to get it topped up and ended up doing 6 weeks for hendling stolen goods...

I'd get it down to the woods tonight and light it up. Otherwise you could be screwed!!

 

[ben_p]

what baggers said, burn it asap

 

[imprezaworks]

Will have a look and see what i can find out. Appreciate the usefull responses.

Ive just joined the forum and have asked a genuine question ref the car. As ive not had one before, was looking for advice, not comedy. Never had this problem on other forums. Do you have to be a certain age/mentality to be a member on here?

dont worry dude they are playing with you....
the oil thing i would worry my 172 does it and if its on a flat and does it i just chuck alittle in if its on a hill i wait until its been on a flat then check it again
but nothing to worry about mate unless you start to lose power or something then start
